Have taken the grand slam of turkeys Married 1 son he’s 20 took him to Africa for his graduation and I’m a Taxidermist.

We’ve been in business this is our 12th year, we started with a video production company we called it Archery Adventures because we primarily like to bow hunt. We do some rifle hunting as well, but we started out doing videos and all started really from a trip to Africa back in 2002 when we were filming and I was passing up shots because Brad couldn’t get the animal on film and after that I was like, “Why am I passing up shots of a once in a lifetime animal?”Scott Carrol Accept the Challenge TV

“Why am I passing up shots of a once in a lifetime animal?”

You don’t get to got to Africa certainly, every day so I was like, “Well maybe somebody should be paying us or something if [inaudible 00:02:01] that’s the only way it makes any sense.” So I come up with the idea and I mentioned it to him and he liked it and so we went to our family and our friends and I guess we were hoping for somebody to tell us how crazy we were, but nobody did, they said, “Man, as much as you guys love to hunt and travel I think you guys would do a great job of it and I think you ought to do it.”

“Heck, now we gotta do it.”

And we’re like, “Heck, now we gotta do it.” So it started with a video and then we had a guy out here locally that was asking for a lot of our footage because they didn’t have enough for his own TV show and then again, that got us thinkin’ well if he’s going to ask for our footage and he’s making money off our footage, why don’t we do our own show? And I certainly don’t want to make it sound like it’s all about money but that is what makes the world go round so to speak, but when you’re passing up shots and you’re on a trip of a lifetime, and you’re not getting anything in return, you’re just doing it for basically home video, it don’t make a whole lotta sense.

we’d be sitting here talking about it again, still today

And to just give your footage away and getting good, positive reviews on it, that didn’t make a whole lotta sense either when that’s really what we wanted to do so we dropped the video thing and went with, our name of our video series was Accept the Challenge, Texas, or Africa or whatever we may be doing, big game, those were some of the names we had for some of our videos and that’s how it all evolved. It started small and then who would’ve thought 12 years later we’d be sitting here talking about it again, still today.

Well, you’ll learn a lot if you hunt whitetail

Well, you’ll learn a lot if you hunt whitetail for any great amount of time and that is without question my favorite animal to hunt, I guess because a whitetail comes in so many different shapes, sizes and you can shoot a 10-point but there’s a 110 inch 10-point and a there’s a 180 inch 10-point and they’re all different. Where turkeys you’re talking a couple of pounds here and there and a quarter of an in on a spur and an inch on a beard so it’s kind of the same thing with the African game. They’re all very similar, where whitetail it’s different, but I guess it just all resorts back to just patience.

but I guess it just all resorts back to just patience.

Being a hunter you want to take that first killing shot that a whitetail offers you. And the same thing with African game. When you’re hunting over a waterhole where the slight exception is when they’re coming into water, they’re nervous, they’re on edge and that’s where they are attacked by leopards and lions and stuff so they’re on their guard. So if you let them come in and settle down and let that first one or two drink, then the others relax so you’re shooting a much calmer animal than say just like you’d be shooting a whitetail only he’s standing out there stomping his foot at you. Not the ideal time to shoot at him because he’s already on alert, probably going to duck and you’re going to end up making a bad shot or missing, hopefully if that’s the case. So just really learning the animals. Each animal’s different and learning body behavior and what not but nothing beats experience.
